Sawyer County authorities are still searching for 20-year-old Kaeden T.J. Dumholt. Sheriff Mark Kelsey said they’ve checked more than 20 homes and have found no sign of the inmate. Kelsey said they believe Dumholt is still in the county, and has changed his appearance.

“We’ve received some information that he may have shaved his head, and we also received some information that he may have been in a physical confrontation with somebody and may have some signs of being beaten up,” said Kelsey.
The Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation is aiding local authorities in their search.
Dumholt is one of two suspects in an armed home invasion that occurred there last week.
